For many weeks now, there has been nothing but silence on the two Radio Romania channels on the Hotbird satellite (transponder frequency 11623, SID codes 10751 and 10752). The reception of all the other [Italian] radio stations transmitted on the same transponder is perfect. Satellite frequencies are not cheap, it's a pity they are not used as intended.

Good to hear you on 9700 into Missouri, USA. Great News and it's always good to hear non internet Shortwave Radio. It brings back memories of me listening to you in the 1970's on a Zenith Transoceanic.

Listened to English broadcast of Radio Romania International on 21 Aug 2014 at around 2030 UTC on a RadioShack branded Sangean 505 using headphones. Broadcast came in clear in Maryland, USA on 21m band freq 11951. Maybe you can send me a QSL card scanned to my email? nanniniric@aol.com Thank you for broadcasting.

Good to hear you on this Sunday afternoon in Western Kentucky, USA. I picked the broadcast in English up on my Grundig FR-200 using some 30 feet of wire wrapped between curtain rod holders. The signal came in good but faded in and out some. The time was 20:39 UTC and the frequency was near 14 MHZ according to my analog dial. I enjoyed what I listened too. I'm just now getting back into shortwave listening. Could you scan a QSL card and email it to Sandle78@netzero.net. I thank you in advance. Looking forward to listening in the future.

I am listening to your DRM service (in German) right now. I am getting almost perfect, unbroken reception on 7405 kHz. It is 1945UTC (Sat 27 Dec) and I am listening to Romanian pop music.
I am in eastern Newfoundland, in Canada, and am listening to you on my Morphy Richards 27024 radio. Its whip antenna is not very good, so I have a six- or eight-metre wire out my window as an aerial.

Found RRI when testing a crystal set I made - I've been listening to you on an incredibly crude receiver made from a piece of silicon and a needle, with a 20-or-so metre antenna, in the north-west of England.

Trying to listen on 9.730 MHz but conditions are very poor and your transmissions are weak and hard to listen to. Will need to get another crystal for my Drake R-4A so I can try to listen on at 11.800 MHz.

Listening to your 1 hour English broadcast at 23:00Z 7430MHz to Western Europe. Very interesting and thank you.

Dean:

I am a 12 year-old shortwave radio listener from a city called Hull in North England. I really like RRI as generally the signal is very, very good. It actually overloads my receiver.
At the time I am writing this, I am listening on the frequency of 5935kHz on the 27/11/2016 on the time of 1800 UTC. The signal on my Tecsun Pl-660 is very very clear.
My SINPO report is;
55435
From time to time heavy fading occurs, but this due to the bad Shortwave conditions lately.
I really like your programs as the presenters have a warm accent and sounds very good.
However, it is a shame that you only limit your bandwidth to 5kHz, which can affect the music programs.
Overall, keep up with the excellent work.
Yours sincerely,

Ken:

I've been listening to RRI for years, and continue to enjoy your programming, and ESPECIALLY appreciate that you're not listening to the nay-sayers who claim there is no audience left on SW. We're here, and we're listening!
There is NO other medium as successful for actually attracting listeners to international broadcasting than SW. The Internet won't 'catch' new ears, and while it is convenient to keep in touch with listeners, you aren't going to get any NEW ones on the web.
Thanks -- I'm particularly enjoying the '"Through the Looking Glass" about the creation of a United Romania after WWI. I also always enjoy your cooking show, and have even tried a couple of the recipes. VERY similar to Italian cooking, but with the occasional 'twist' that I've enjoyed.
I look forward to more broadcasts! Thanks again.
